Great theme and from top to bottom, an amazing bot once again! Unfortunately we won't get to see you all at any of the regionals this year, but hopefully we can come down to Waterloo to watch you guys!

Why did you decide to go with such a low gearing considering your success at high speed last year and your driver being the same?

Good luck in 2012. I look forward to watching some entertaining 1503 matches this year.

Theorizing here:

Last year was a very open field, lots of travel from one end to the other. This year is basically a pair of 27x27 fields. You also want to make lots of very precise moves (they have no turret). There are numerous reasons to be geared slower this year.

You are also making a very dangerous assumption that the driver is the same.

Well I assumed based on nicks profile still saying driver, like last year. But I know what happens when I assume...
